I think this is duplicating a mistake we already have. I vaguely remember when
doing some hackbench profiling last year with range based profiling confined to
memset routine and saw that L1-dcache-misses was counting zero. This is because 
it
only counts LD misses while memset only does ST.

Performance counter stats for '/sbin/hackbench':

     0 L1-dcache-misses
     0 L1-dcache-load-misses
     1846082 L1-dcache-store-misses


@PeterZ do you concur that is wrong and we ought to setup 2 counters to do this
correctly ?
